    Hello guys
    I was wondering if someone can help me out here, I got the impression that the optional WWAN card used in the T580 is this [​IMG] from notebookcheck.

    This is the "public version" of HP's UN2420 so I was wondering if I could use the UN2420 instead? would that card be locked to HP only? Does Fujitsu has a whitelist for the mini-pcie slot? And lastly, could I use Fujitsu's own driver and software with the UN2420? The UN2420 has the same driver version 1.1.18 from Sierra wireless on the HP website as the driver from the Fujitsu website. Of course I would expect integration with laptop with the different vendor's drivers...

    My T580 does not come with the antenna's so I plan to go with the stick on one that usually comes in those USB modems. But it does have a SIM card slot that is spring loaded (not an empty void). Does that confirms that I have a SIM card "reader" built in?

    Any help would really be appreciated... Thanks!
